Authorities seek individuals who may have observed a vehicle fleeing the scene of a traffic collision.
On Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025, a hit-and-run incident occurred on the A23 motorway near the Hohenfelde and Horst/Elmshorn junctions, heading towards Hamburg.
According to the police, the driver of a grey Skoda, who was travelling in the right lane, switched lanes to the left without warning or signaling. This sudden maneuver caused a Porsche driver, who was approaching from behind, to use an emergency brake to avoid a collision. Unfortunately, due to the loss of control, the Porsche driver collided with the median and outer barriers.
The driver of the grey Skoda, who is still unknown, left the accident scene without stopping. The police are currently investigating the case of leaving the scene of an accident without permission and are seeking witnesses.
Witnesses with information about the accident, the grey Skoda, or the unknown driver are asked to contact the Elmshorn Police Highway and District Office at 04121-40920.
